Dear Traveler:

The holidays have come and gone and the white squirrels have promised not to candy-stripe their tails until at least next November. The forests are pretty quiet, but advance word says that spring will be quite a show, if you’re the type to think ahead. It’s a little chilly for Sliding Rock, but that certainly hasn’t stopped a fair amount of hikers and climbers and cyclists from taking advantage of the pretty days to get out and about in the woods.

Because Transylvania County's winter weather is more often delightful than frightful, making your escape to the Land of Waterfalls for a long weekend will likely mean an abundance of outdoor adventures, fun activities, extraordinary events, great live music and post-holiday shopping options to chase away any lingering winter blues.

Welcome to 2015!

The Adventurist

It’s always a thrill to catch the big fish. But imagine catching that big fish using a custom rod you created for yourself. That’s the idea behind this outstanding workshop led by Davidson River’s own Kevin Howell and John Rich. They’ll give you all the tips and tools you need so you can walk out with a brand new rod in hand.

Cast this way for more details. 

Faces of Freedom

Collecting works from a talented and diverse roster of artists, this exhibit illuminates the nature of freedom and the way the journey to it has been interpreted using a wide variety of media. Visitors on January 23rd may also take part in an International Mixer, which features speakers and performers, including writers, musicians and hip hop dance classes from Brevard Ballet.
